When your poor you learn how to fix things always had a knack at fixing things since I was little.

Thanks again for the help and those awesome bearings and seal.

I ran into roadblock after roadblock trying to get warranty coverage for the SS drum. It seems the only way to get coverage was to pay for service call so I reluctantly set up appointment. The A&E/Sears technician could not have been more helpful. Instead of service call at $79.00 with no parts assistance she offered a "PM check" at $85.00. The PM check allowed her to order the drum under warranty. It will be dropped shipped and I can install. The technician was very helpful, offering advice, assembly grease and the O ring for the housing free of charge. She even left a local contact number that I can use if I get stuck during assembly. WOW!!!! she restored my faith in the Sears product line.

Thank you for your assistance

Thank you for your excellent service and for what I never bargained, your expert advise. You gave me the right tools to handle the corporation and the right parts for the washer. With some persistence and Sears did live up to their word and warrantied the drum plus shipped it to my home, at no cost. They did have to send a Tech out to verify the item. What I did learn is if the Tech orders the parts, then you get charged for the service call. If the Tech calls into their manager and they order it, there's no service charge. The part is delivered to your home and you just have to cancel the service call to install it. Thanks again!!

The reason for this is two fold. First, the appliance manufacturers have never made these sets available because they want to sell the whole rear tank for $300 to $600 and secondly, we were one of the first to offer a full range of bearing and seal kits.

We spent over two years buying front load washers and stripping them down and sourcing high quality bearings and seals for them. For 4 years prior to this we did well over 500 bearing and seal replacements on front load washers.

Also, the bearings and seals we use are a MUCH better quality than the cheap ones GE, Whirlpool Corp and other OEM's put in them.

We have been to many customers homes over the years and had to tell them it's going to cost them as much as $800 to repair their machine. Not fun we can assure you. Now, with the kits we offer, an appliance tech or home owner can replace the bearings and seal for a reasonable price.

We hope this helps, Thanks, Front Load Bearings

Our quality ball bearings meet ABEC 1 standards. They are high speed electric motor grade bearings. The same bearings we have been using in our own business for 6 years without any issues. That is why we have stayed with them. We have installed over 500 of these sets. So we understand why you don't want to do the job twice.

Our bearings and seals are the best we can find at a price that we can remain competitive. The fastest washer out there spins at 1500 RPM and our bearings and seals are rated for more than six times that speed and load. The smallest bearing we use is rated for 1740 LBS and the bigger bearings go up to over 4700 LBS. That's more weight than a big family car.

All our seals are high quality, fully sprung double lip seals and are the same ones we have been using for 6 years on the repairs we do.

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Front Load Bearings
